City Council Meeting
of N - (e -OW05
ACTION: /i bd i,et vim/ a}d -"
DATE: March 30, 2005 (CC Meeting of April 6, 2005)
SUBJECT: Consider an Ordinance of the City of Moorpark for
Proposed Development Agreement Between Shea Homes,
Limited Partnership and City of Moorpark Pertaining to
Vesting Tentative Tract No. 5425.
BACKGROUND:
Proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5425 owned by Shea Homes,
Limited Partnership (Shea Homes) consists of approximately 14.8
acres including the private street of Fremont Street and 102
proposed single family attached and detached units. A City Council
Public Hearing to consider the referenced Tract Map 5425,
Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2003 -02, General Plan
Amendment No. 2003 -02, and Zone Change No. 2003 -02, as well as a
Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program was opened on March 2, 2005 and continued to
April 6, 2005.
A City Council Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of Councilmembers Mikos
and Parvin, was appointed to negotiate a proposed Development
Agreement with Shea Homes. On March 2, 2005 the Ad Hoc Committee
recommended that the Development Agreement be forwarded to the
Planning Commission for a public hearing at its regular March 22,
2005 meeting and set for a Council Public Hearing on April 6, 2005.
The City Council concurred with the Ad Hoc Committee's
recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
On March 22, 2005 the Planning Commission considered the
Development Agreement at a public hearing and adopted Resolution
No. PC- 2005 -472 recommending to the City Council approval of the
000095
Shea Homes Development Agreement
Agenda Report

March 30, 2005
Development Agreement with Shea Homes, Limited Partnership.
Sections 6. and 7. list the Agreements by the Developer (Shea
Homes) and City, respectively. These are generally similar to
provisions contained in development agreements previously approved
by the City.
Per Section 6.9, Shea Homes will provide twenty (20) affordable
housing units in this project. This is more than the minimum 15
percent (15 %) required under redevelopment law. The affordable
units are proposed as follows:
1. Nine (9) for low income households (80% of median income)
2. Six (6) for very low income households (50% of median income)
3. Five (5) for moderate income households (110% of median
income)
Shea Homes has proposed using its smallest proposed model
(approximately 1,600 square feet) to meet this requirement rather
than constructing a smaller unit. This model is considered a
single family attached unit, commonly referred to as a duplex unit.
In prior projects, the allowed size of the units has generally
ranged from about 1,050 to 1,250 square feet. The units in this
project, however, are all three bedroom units, but as previously
reported the Ad Hoc Committee and staff support this proposal
because of the relatively large size of the units compared to other
approved affordable units.
In addition to the inclusion of 5 percent (5 %) of the project units
for moderate income households added to the combined 15 percent
(15 %) of total project units as affordable to low and very low
income households, two other affordable housing provisions have
been included in the proposed Development Agreement. The first
item is the inclusion of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (for the 20
affordable units) as an attachment to the Development Agreement, as
well as including additional language pertaining to affordable
housing in the Development Agreement. This is in lieu of a
requirement for a separate affordable housing plan and agreement to
be approved at a later date.

March 30, 2005
The Purchase and Sale Agreement has been used for two prior
developments to effectuate the sale of units from the developer to
the City (or qualified First Time Home Buyer) at an affordable
price.
The second new provision will be first right of refusal at market
rate for two additional units to be offered to the City for
purchase prior to the general public. This would require the City
to include any of these units in its affordable housing program for
moderate income first time buyers. At the time the Council
considered this proposed agreement on March 2, 2005, it included up
to eight units for this purpose. These would be the approximate
1,600 square foot units which are the smallest of the proposed
units in the project. Since that time, the Shea representatives
have indicated there are only five more of the 1,600 square foot
units in the project and want to make sure that some of these units
can be available to the general public. Staff shares this concern
and recommends including only two units (of the five 1,600 square
foot units remaining in the project) for this purpose. Shea has
agreed to provide two units in Tract 5133 for this purpose in
addition to the seven low income affordable units and fee payments
required of them. This will be included in the Purchase and Sale
Agreement for Tract 5133.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
1) Open the public hearing, take public testimony, and close the
public hearing; 2) Introduce Ordinance No. for first
reading and schedule second reading and adoption for April 20,
2005.

Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
-3-
0001(1) 0
terms "City" and "Developer" are used herein, such terms shall
include every successive successor in interest thereto, except
that the term "Developer" shall not include the purchaser or
transferee of any lot within the Project that has been fully
developed in accordance with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement.
3.1. Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who
acquires any right, title or interest in or to any
portion of the Property except any lot within the
Project that has been fully developed in accordance
with the Project Approvals and this Agreement shall be,
conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to be

not in breach of this Agreement at the time of the sale
or transfer and (ii) prior to the sale or transfer,
delivered to City a written assumption agreement, duly

Development of the Property. The following provisions shall
govern the subdivision, development and use of the Property.
4.1. Permitted Uses. The permitted and conditionally
permitted uses of the Property shall be limited to
those that are allowed by the Project Approvals and
this Agreement.
4.2. Development Standards. All design and development
standards, including but not limited to density or
intensity of use and maximum height and size of
buildings, that shall be applicable to the Property are
set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
4.3. Building Standards. All construction on the Property
shall adhere to the Uniform Building Code, including
the Fire Resistive Design Manual, the National
Electrical Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, the Uniform
Mechanical Code, the Uniform Housing Code, the Uniform
Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, the
Uniform Code for Building Conservation and the Uniform
Administrative Code in effect at the time the plan
check or building permit is approved and to any federal
or state building requirements that are then in effect
(collectively "the Building Codes ").
4.4. Reservations and Dedications. All reservations and
dedications of land for public purposes that are
applicable to the Property are set forth in the Project

Vesting of Development Rights.
5.1. Timing of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California
Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing or rate of
development resulted in a later - adopted initiative
restricting the rate of development to prevail against
the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and
providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property in such order and
at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment.

this subsection, no future amendment of any existing
-5-

ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to
limit the rate or timing of development over time or
alter the sequencing of development phases, whether
adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the
Property provided the Property is developed in
accordance with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to limit City's right to insure that
Developer timely provides all infrastructure required
by the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals, and
this Agreement.
5.2. Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of
the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by
the City Council or through the initiative or
referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the
Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to
the amendment.
5.3. Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for
land use approvals, entitlements and permits, including
without limitation subdivision maps (e.g. tentative,
vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final
maps), subdivision improvement agreements and other
agreements relating to the Project, lot line
adjustments, preliminary and final planned development
permits, use permits, design review approvals (e.g.
site plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans) ,
encroachment permits, and sewer and water connections
that are necessary to or desirable for the development
of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent
Approvals "; individually "a Subsequent Approval ") shall
be consistent with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsequent
Approvals do not include building permits.
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc

Approvals and by the applicable provisions of the
Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark Municipal Code and
other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently
adopted or approved by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process and in effect at the

(b) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the
Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise require any
reduction in the number of proposed buildings or other
improvements from what is allowed by the Project
Approvals.
(c) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of the approval, development or construction
of all or any part of the Project in any manner,
provided that all infrastructure required by the
Project Approvals to serve the portion of the Property
covered by the Subsequent Approval is in place or is
scheduled to be in place prior to completion of
construction;
(d) are not uniformly applied on a City -wide basis to
all substantially similar types of development projects
or to all properties with similar land use
designations;
(e) control residential rents;
(f) prohibit or regulate development on slopes with
grades greater than 20 percent, including without
limitation Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 17.38 or any
successor thereto, within the Property; or
(g) modify the land use from what is permitted by the
City's General Plan Land Use Element at the operative
date of this Agreement or that prohibits or restricts
the establishment or expansion of urban services
including but not limited to community sewer systems to
the Project.
5.4. Term of Subsequent Approvals. The term of any tentative
map for the Property, or any portion thereof, shall
expire ten (10) years after its approval or conditional
approval or upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement, whichever occurs first,
notwithstanding the provisions of Government Code
Section 66452.6(a) or the fact that the final map may
be filed in phases. Developer hereby waives any right
that it may have under the Subdivision Map Act,
Government Code Section 66410 et seq., or any successor
thereto, to apply for an extension of the time at which
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
-7-
000106
the tentative map expires pursuant to this subsection.
No portion of the Property for which a final map or
parcel map has been recorded shall be reverted to
acreage at the initiative of City during the term of
this Agreement.
The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative
map or subdivision improvement or other agreements
relating to the Project, shall be one year; provided
that the term may be extended by the decision maker for
two (2) additional one (1) year periods upon
application of the Developer holding the Subsequent
Approval filed with City's Department of Community
Development prior to the expiration of that Approval.
Each such Subsequent Approval shall be deemed
inaugurated, and no extension shall be necessary, if a
building permit was issued and the foundation received
final inspection by City's Building Inspector prior to
the expiration of that Approval.
It is understood by City and Developer that certain
Subsequent Approvals may not remain valid for the term
of this Agreement. Accordingly, throughout the term of
this Agreement, any Developer shall have the right, at
its election, to apply for a new permit to replace a
permit that has expired or is about to expire.
5.5. Modification Of Approvals. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, Developer shall have the right, at its
election and without risk to or waiver of any right
that is vested in it pursuant to this section, to apply
to City for modifications to Project Approvals and
Subsequent Approvals. The approval or conditional
approval of any such modification shall not require an
amendment to this Agreement, provided that, in addition
to any other findings that may be required in order to
approve or conditionally approve the modification, a
finding is made that the modification is consistent
with this Agreement and does not alter the permitted
uses, density, intensity, maximum height, size of
buildings or reservations and dedications as contained
in the Project Approvals.
5.6. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit,
final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be
unreasonably withheld from Developer if all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals, and this Agreement to serve the
portion of the Property covered by the building permit
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
000107
is in place or is scheduled to be in place prior to
completion of construction and all of the other
relevant provisions of the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement have been
satisfied. Consistent with subsection 5.1 of this
Agreement, in no event shall building permits be
allocated on any annual numerical basis or on any
arbitrary allocation basis.
5.7. Moratorium on Development. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent City, whether by the City Council or
through the initiative or referendum process, from
adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits
and on the finalizing of building permits by means of a
final inspection or certificate of occupancy, provided
that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i) on a City-
wide basis to all substantially similar types of
development projects and properties with similar land
use designations and (ii) as a result of a utility
shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage
including without limitation a shortage of water, sewer
treatment capacity, electricity or natural gas.
6. Developer Agreements.
6.1. Developer shall comply with (i) this Agreement, (ii)
the Project Approvals, (iii) all Subsequent Approvals
for which it was the applicant or a successor in
interest to the applicant and (iv) the MMRP of the MND
and any subsequent or supplemental environmental
actions.
6.2. All lands and interests in land dedicated to City shall
be free and clear of liens and encumbrances other than
easements or restrictions that do not preclude or
interfere with use of the land or interest for its
intended purpose, as reasonably determined by City.
6.3. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a

Thousand Twenty -Eight Dollars ($40,028.00) per gross
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
000:108
acre of institutional land on which the use is located.
The fee for both residential and institutional uses
shall be adjusted annually commencing one (1) year
after the first residential or institutional building
permit is issued within Tract 5425 by any increase in
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all fees have been
paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by using
the information provided by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside
metropolitan area during the prior year. The
calculation shall be made using the month which is four
(4) months prior to the month in which the first
residential building permit is issued within Tract 5425
(e.g., if the permit issuance occurs in October, then
the month of June is used to calculate the increase).
In the event there is a decrease in the referenced
Index for any annual indexing, the Development Fee
shall remain at its then current amount until such time
as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase.
6.4. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a
traffic mitigation fee as described herein ( "Citywide
Traffic Fee "). The Citywide Traffic Fee may be

On the operative date of this Agreement, the amount of
the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be Five Thousand
Seventy -Five Dollars ($5,075.00) per residential unit,
and Twenty -Two Thousand, Eight Hundred Thirty -Eight
Dollars ($22,838.00) per acre of institutional land on
which the institutional use is located. Commencing on
January 1, 2006, and annually thereafter, both
categories of the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be
increased to reflect the change in the State Highway
Bid Price Index for the twelve (12) month period that
is reported in the latest issue of the Engineering News
Record that is available on December 31 of the
preceding year ( "annual indexing "). At its sole
discretion, the City may use the Highway Construction
Cost Index published by CalTrans in lieu of the State
Highway Bid Price Index. In the event there is a
decrease in the referenced Index for any annual
indexing, the Citywide Traffic Fee shall remain at its
then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.

6.5. As a condition of issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the

The amount of the Community Services Fee shall be Two

Dollars ($7,070.00) per gross acre of institutional

the Community Services Fee for both residential and
institutional uses shall be adjusted by any increase in
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all Community
Services Fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall
be determined by using the information provided by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month of August over the prior month of August. In the
event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual
indexing, the Community Services Fee shall remain at
its then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
6.6. On the operative date of this Agreement, Developer
shall pay all outstanding City processing costs related
to preparation of this Agreement, Project Approvals,
and MND.
6.7. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each
residential dwelling unit within the Property,
Developer shall pay a fee in lieu of the dedication of
parkland and related improvements (Park Fee). On the
operative date of this Agreement, the amount of the
Park Fee shall be Eight Thousand Two Hundred Forty
Dollars ($8,240.00) for each residential dwelling unit

the information provided by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside
metropolitan area during the prior year. The
calculation shall be made using the month which is four
(4) months prior to the month in which the first
residential building permit is issued within Tract 5425
(e.g., if the permit issuance occurs in October, then
the month of June is used to calculate the increase).
In the event there is a decrease in the referenced
Index for any annual indexing, the Park Fee shall
remain at its then current amount until such time as
the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
Developer agrees that the above - described payments
shall be deemed to satisfy the parkland dedication
requirement set forth at California Government Code
Section 66477 et seq. for the Property.

being placed on all streets. Developer shall provide
service including payment of any connection and meter
charges and shall use recycled water for medians and

development and the recycled water shall be in use
prior to the first occupancy approval for each City
approved phase of development if such recycled water is

affordable units.
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
Developer further agrees that it has the obligation to
provide the required number of affordable housing units
as specified above regardless of the cost to acquire or
construct said housing units. Developer further agrees
that City has no obligation to use eminent domain
proceedings to acquire any of the required housing
units and that this subsection 6.9 is specifically
exempt from the requirements of subsection 7.2 of this
Agreement.
Prior to recordation of the first final Tract Map for
this Project, the parties agree to execute a Purchase
and Sale Agreement which further sets forth the
Developer's obligations of this subsection 6.19. and
City's obligations per subsection 7.7. The Purchase
and Sale Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit "C ". The Developer agrees to pay all City
costs for preparation of the Purchase and Sale

Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
The Developer agrees that the intent of this subsection
6.19. and the Purchase and Sale Agreement is to provide
the twenty (20) affordable housing units consistent
with applicable State and Federal laws and that said
units remain affordable for the longest feasible time.
Developer further agrees that the City at its sole
discretion will make all decisions pertaining to the
selection of eligible first time home buyers and all
requirements placed on the sale of the twenty (20)
affordable housing units to said buyers. The difference
between the initial purchase price by a qualified buyer
and market value shall be retained by the City as a
second deed of trust.
The actual initial purchase price (Affordable Sales
Price) paid by a qualified buyer, market value, buyer
eligibility, resale restrictions, equity share and
second trust deed provisions, and any other items
determined necessary by the City will be approved by
the City Council in its sole and unfettered discretion
prior to or at such time as qualified buyers are
selected to purchase the affordable housing units.
All units shall meet the criteria of all applicable
State laws to qualify as newly affordable to moderate
income, low income and very low income persons (in the
quantity as specified in this Agreement) to satisfy a
portion of the City's RHNA obligation and the Moorpark
Redevelopment Agency's affordable housing goals. None
of the affordable units required by this Agreement
shall duplicate or substitute for the affordable
housing requirement of any other developer or
development project. All subsequent approvals required
of City under this subsection 6.9 shall be made at
City's sole discretion. If any conflict exists between
this Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement or
the conditions of approval for Tract Map No. 5425
and /or RPD No. 2003 -02, then the provision providing
the City the most favorable language for assisting
eligible first time home buyers who meet the
qualification of moderate, low and low income shall
prevail.
-14-
000113
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
Developer agrees to provide the same home warranties
associated with the market rate units in the same
project as the affordable units for the maximum time
required by State law, but in no event less than ten
(10) years. Developer agrees that all such warranties
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
ultimate occupants of the moderate income, low income
and very low income units, and that all warranties by
subcontractors and suppliers shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by such occupants. The qualified
buyer (or City in lieu of a qualified buyer at its sole
discretion) shall have the same choices of finish
options as purchasers of other units in the project and
final walk- through approval of condition of unit before
close of sale. Any options provided to buyers of units
shall be provided to buyer(s) of the required units
including but not limited to color and style choices
for carpeting and other floor coverings. Flooring
selections shall be made within 10 days of Developer's
request for selection.
In the event the monthly HOA fees for the affordable
units exceed $100.00 for each affordable unit,
Developer shall deposit $120.00 for each dollar or
portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees that are in
excess of $100.00 into a City administered trust to
assist with future HOA fees for each affected
affordable unit.

shall not exceed affordable housing cost, as defined in
Sec. 50052.5(b) (2) of California Health and Safety
Code. For a household of 4, the current monthly
"affordable housing cost" would be 30% times 70% of

Developer acknowledges that changes in market
conditions may result in changes to the Affordable
Sales Price, down payment amounts, mortgage interest
rates, and other factors for the moderate, low income
and very low income buyers. Furthermore, if
"affordable housing cost ", as defined in Section
50052.5 of California Health and Safety Code, should
change in the future, the above guidelines will be
modified to achieve substantially the same result as
would otherwise have been obtained had it not been
changed.
In the event the City, at its sole discretion purchases
one or more of the affordable units from Developer in
lieu of a qualified buyer, the Affordable Sales Price
shall be based on a household size of 4 persons and
000117
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
consistent with all requirements of this subsection
6.9. Developer agrees that prior to and upon the sale
of a required unit to a qualified buyer (or City in
lieu of a qualified buyer as determined by City at its
sole discretion), City may at its sole discretion take
any actions and impose any conditions on said sale or
subsequent sale of the unit to ensure ongoing
affordability to low and very low income households and
related matters. After the sale of a housing unit by
Developer to a qualified buyer (or City in lieu of a
qualified buyer as determined by City at its sole
discretion), City, not Developer, shall have sole
responsibility for approving any subsequent sale of
that affordable housing unit.
Developer shall pay closing costs for each unit, not to
exceed $6,000. Beginning March 1, 2007, and on March
1St for each of fifteen subsequent years, the maximum
$6,000 to be paid for closing costs shall be increased
annually by any percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for Los
Angeles /Orange /Riverside metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month of December over the prior month of December. In
the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual
indexing, the amount due shall remain at its then
current amount until such time as the next subsequent
annual indexing which results in an increase. The
referenced Developer funded closing costs shall be for
the benefit of qualified buyers (or City in lieu of
qualified buyers as determined by City at its sole
discretion for one or more of the required units) in
their acquisition of a unit from Developer not
Developer's acquisition of a unit from one or more
third parties. The Developer's escrow cost shall not
exceed the then applicable maximum amount per unit
regardless of the number of escrows that may be opened
on a specific unit prior to the closing of the initial
sale to a qualified buyer or City in lieu of a
qualified buyer.
No less than thirty (30) days prior to the offering for
sale to the general public of units 33 and 80 as
approved by RPD 2003 -02, with approximately 1600 square
feet (units), Developer shall provide City with notice
of said intended sale. Said notice shall include the
proposed sale price. Within thirty (30) days of
receiving said notice, City may purchase one or both of
the above - referenced units and enter into escrow at the
-19-
000118
stated price or such other price as may be negotiated
by the parties. Developer warrants that said price
shall be no higher than what would be offered to a bona
fide qualified purchaser from the general public. City
warrants that if it exercises its right to purchase, it
will purchase said units for the purpose of reselling
it to a qualified first time home buyer with income not
exceeding moderate income. Upon mutual agreement of the
parties, said first time home buyer may be substituted
for City with the requirement that the City will work
with buyer to finance the purchase of the unit. Buyer
gets all the same new home warranties as the purchase
of any market rate unit in the Project. The Developer
with the written approval of the City Manager or
designee may substitute a different unit location
within the Project for either unit 33 or 80 so long as
the unit contains no less than 1,600 square feet.
The location of the twenty (20) affordable units within
the Project and the schedule for providing the
affordable units by the Developer to qualified buyers
or City in lieu of said buyers shall be included in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement.
6.10. Developer agrees that the Mitigation Measures included
in the City Council approved MND and MMRP, or

the Council, set forth the mitigation requirements for
air quality impacts. Developer agrees to pay to City an

Quality Fee), in satisfaction of the Transportation
Demand Management Fund mitigation requirement for the
Project. The Air Quality Fee may be expended by City
in its sole discretion for reduction of regional air
pollution emissions and to mitigate residual Project
air quality impacts.
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
At the time the Fee is due, City may at its sole
discretion require Developer to purchase equipment,
vehicles, or other items, contract and pay for
services, or make improvements for which Developer
shall receive equivalent credit against Air Quality Fee
payments or refund of previous payments.
The Air Quality Fee shall be One Thousand, Six Hundred,
Thirty -Six Dollars ($1,636.00) per residential unit to
be paid prior to the issuance of each building permit
for the first residential unit in Tract 5130.
Commencing on March 1, 2007, and annually thereafter
-20-
000119
the Air Quality Fee shall be adjusted by any increase
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all fees have
been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by
using the information provided by the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside
metropolitan area during the prior year. The
calculation shall be made using the month of December
over the prior month of December. In the event there is
a decrease in the CPI for any annual indexing, the fee
shall remain at its then current amount until such time
as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in
an increase.

calculated by the Director of Community Development
consistent with the then applicable Ventura County Air
Quality Management District URBEMIS Model prior to the
first occupancy approval for each institutional use.
6.11. Developer hereby waives any right that it may have

one or more property owner associations and to obligate
said associations to provide for maintenance of parkway
and median landscaping, street lighting, and if
requested by the City Council, parks in the event the
aforementioned assessment district is dissolved or

limited in any way by a ballot election of property
owners, or if the assessment district is invalidated by
court action. Prior to recordation of the first final
map for the Property, if required by City at its sole
discretion, Developer shall also form one or more
property owner associations to assume ownership and
maintenance of open space land, trails, storm water

the Enabling Ordinance was adopted by the City Council prevents
or precludes compliance with any provision of the Agreement,
such provision shall be deemed modified or suspended to comply
with such state or federal law or regulation, as reasonably
determined necessary by City.
9. Demonstration of Good Faith Compliance. In order to ascertain
compliance by Developer with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Agreement shall be reviewed annually in accordance with
Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 15.40. of City or any successor
thereof then in effect. The failure of City to conduct any such
annual review shall not, in any manner, constitute a breach of
this Agreement by City, diminish, impede, or abrogate the
obligations of Developer hereunder or render this Agreement
invalid or void. At the same time as the referenced annual
review, City shall also review Developer's compliance with the
MMRP.
10. Authorized Delays. Performance by any Party of its obligations
hereunder, other than payment of fees, shall be excused during

has been ascertained. For purposes hereof, Excusable Delay
shall mean delay that directly affects, and is beyond the
reasonable control of, the Party claiming the delay, including
without limitation: (a) act of God; (b) civil commotion; (c)
riot; (d) strike, picketing or other labor dispute; (e)
shortage of materials or supplies; (e) damage to work in
progress by reason of fire, flood, earthquake or other
casualty; (f) failure, delay or inability of City to provide
adequate levels of public services, facilities or
infrastructure to the Property including, by way of example
only, the lack of water to serve any portion of the Property
due to drought; (g) delay caused by a restriction imposed or
mandated by a governmental entity other than City; or (h)
litigation brought by a third party attacking the validity of
this Agreement, a Project Approval, a Subsequent Approval or
any other action necessary for development of the Property.

have breached this Agreement if it:
(a) practices, or attempts to practice, any fraud or
deceit upon City; or willfully violates any order,
ruling or decision of any regulatory or judicial
body having jurisdiction over the Property or the
Project, provided that Developer may contest any
such order, ruling or decision by appropriate
proceedings conducted in good faith, in which
event no breach of this Agreement shall be deemed
to have occurred unless and until there is a final
adjudication adverse to Developer; or
(b) fails to make any payments required under this
Agreement; or
(c) breaches any of the provisions of the Agreement.
11.2. Default by City. City shall be deemed in breach of
this Agreement if it breaches any of the provisions of
the Agreement.
11.3. Content of Notice of Violation. Every notice of
violation shall state with specificity that it is given
pursuant to this subsection of the Agreement, the
nature of the alleged breach, and the manner in which
the breach may be satisfactorily cured. Every notice
shall include a period to cure, which period of time
shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date that
the notice is deemed received, provided if the
defaulting party cannot reasonably cure the breach
within the time set forth in the notice such party must
commence to cure the breach within such time limit and
diligently effect such cure thereafter. The notice
shall be deemed given on the date that it is personally
delivered or on the date that it is deposited in the
United States mail, in accordance with Section 20
hereof.
11.4. Remedies for Breach. The Parties acknowledge that
remedies at law, including without limitation money
damages, would be inadequate for breach of this
Agreement by any Party due to the size, nature and
scope of the Project. The Parties also acknowledge
that it would not be feasible or possible to restore
Shea Homes Dev Agr 0328 2005.doc
-27-
0001x.6
the Property to its natural condition once
implementation of the Agreement has begun. Therefore,
the Parties agree that the remedies for breach of the
Agreement shall be limited to the remedies expressly
set forth in this subsection. Prior to pursuing the
remedies set forth herein, notice and an opportunity to
cure shall be provided pursuant to subsection 11.3
herein.

The remedies for breach of the Agreement by Developer
shall be injunctive relief and /or specific performance.
In addition, if the breach is of subsections 6.9, 6.10,
6.12, 6.13, 6.14, 6.15, 6.16, 6.17, 6.18, or subsection
6.19 of this Agreement, City shall have the right to
withhold the issuance of building permits to Developer
throughout the Project from the date that the notice of
violation was given pursuant to subsection 11.3 hereof

the notice of violation.
Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to preclude
City from prosecuting a criminal action against any
Developer who violates any City ordinance or state
statute.
12. Mortgage Protection. At the same time that City gives notice
to Developer of a breach, City shall send a copy of the notice
to each holder of record of any deed of trust on the portion of
the Property in which Developer has a legal interest
( "Financier "), provided that the Financier has given prior
written notice of its name and mailing address to City and the
notice makes specific reference to this section. The copies
shall be sent by United States mail, registered or certified,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed
received upon the third (3rd) day after deposit.
Each Financier that has given prior notice to City pursuant to
this section shall have the right, at its option and insofar as
the rights of City are concerned, to cure any such breach
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the notice from
City. If such breach cannot be cured within such time period,
the Financier shall have such additional period as may be
reasonably required to cure the same, provided that the
Financier gives notice to City of its intention to cure and
commences the cure within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
the notice from City and thereafter diligently prosecutes the
Shea Homes Dev Aqr 0328 2005.doc
000121
same to completion. City shall not commence legal action
against Developer by reason of Developer's breach without
allowing the Financier to cure the same as specified herein.
Notwithstanding any cure by Financier, this Agreement shall be
binding and effective against the Financier and every owner of
the Property, or part thereof, whose title thereto is acquired
by foreclosure, trustee sale or otherwise.

Party, (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a
binding obligation of the Parties, (ii) this Agreement has not

and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of this
Agreement, or if in breach, a description of each such breach.

certificate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the
notice. City acknowledges that a certificate may be relied
upon by successors in interest to the Developer who requested
the certificate and by holders of record of deeds of trust on
the portion of the Property in which that Developer has a legal
interest.
14. Administration of Agreement. Any decision by City staff
concerning the interpretation and administration of this
Agreement and development of the Property in accordance
herewith may be appealed by the Developer to the City Council,

the affordable units purchased by the CITY as the amenities and
home warranties associated with the market rate units.

benefit of and be enforceable by the ultimate occupants of the
affordable units, and that all warranties by subcontractors and
suppliers shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by

injury, damage, loss, or deprivation of any right alleged to
have been sustained as a result of CITY's action on any matter
related to this Agreement.

8.1.1 Failure by the DEVELOPER to duly perform,
comply with and observe any of the conditions, terms, or
covenants of TTM No. 5425 or RPD No. 2003 -02, or this Agreement,
or the Development Agreement, if such failure remains uncured
ten (10) days after written notice of such failure from the CITY
to the DEVELOPER in the manner provided herein or, with respect
to a default that cannot be cured within ten (10) days, if the
DEVELOPER fails to commence such cure within such ten (10) day
period or thereafter fails to diligently and continuously
proceed with such cure to completion.
8.1.2 Any representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement or in any certificate or report submitted to the
CITY by DEVELOPER proves to have been incorrect in any material
respect when made.
8.1.3 A court having jurisdiction shall have made or
rendered a decree or order (a) adjudging DEVELOPER to be
bankrupt or insolvent; (b) approving as properly filed a
petition seeking reorganization of DEVELOPER or seeking any
arrangement on behalf of DEVELOPER under the bankruptcy law or
any other applicable debtor's relief law or statute of the

executed upon shall have been returned or released within ninety
(90) days after such event (unless a lesser time period is
permitted for cure hereunder) or prior to sale pursuant to such
sequestration, attachment, or execution. If the DEVELOPER is

property, or any part thereof or interest therein (except the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other recorded instrument
securing any construction or permanent financing for the
Project), provided that the existence of any mechanic's,
laborer's, materialman's, supplier's, or vendor's lien or right
thereto shall not constitute a violation of this Section if
payment is not yet due under the contract which is the
foundation thereof and if such contract does not postpone

thereof. DEVELOPER shall have the right to contest in good
faith the validity of any such lien, encumbrance or charge,
provided that within ten days after service of a stop notice or
ninety days after recording of a mechanic's lien, DEVELOPER
shall deposit with CITY a bond or other security reasonably
satisfactory to CITY in such amounts as CITY shall reasonably
require, but no more than the amount required to release the
lien under California law and provided further that DEVELOPER
shall thereafter diligently proceed to cause such lien,
encumbrance or charge to be removed and discharged, and shall,
in any event, cause such lien, encumbrance or charge to be
removed or discharged not later than sixty (60) days prior to
any foreclosure sale. If DEVELOPER shall fail either to remove
and discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge or to deposit
security in accordance with the preceding sentence, if
applicable, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of
CITY, CITY may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the
6
S: \City Manager \Everyone\Agreements\Purchase and Sale Agreement w Shea Homes No Legis 032905.DOC 000:139
same, without inquiring into the validity of such lien,
encumbrance or charge nor into the existence of any defense or
offset thereto, either by paying the amount claimed to be due,
or by procuring the discharge of such lien, encumbrance or
charge by depositing in a court a bond or the amount or
otherwise giving security for such claim, in such manner as is
or may be prescribed by law. DEVELOPER shall, immediately upon
demand therefor by CITY, pay to CITY an amount equal to all
costs and expenses incurred by CITY in connection with the
exercise by CITY of the foregoing right to discharge any such
lien, encumbrance or charge. To the extent not paid, all costs
and expenses paid by the CITY shall be a lien on the Property
pursuant to Civil Code Section 2881.
8.3 Costs of Enforcement. If any Event of Default
occurs, CITY may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect its
rights hereunder. Subject to California Civil Code Section
1717, DEVELOPER promises to pay to CITY, on demand, the fees and
expenses of such attorneys and all other costs of enforcing the
obligations secured hereby including without limitation,
recording fees, receiver's fees and expenses, and all other
expenses of whatever kind or nature, incurred by CITY in connec-
tion with the enforcement of the obligations secured hereby,
whether or not such enforcement includes the filing of a
lawsuit.
8.4 Remedies Not Exclusive. CITY shall be entitled
to enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or
obligation of DEVELOPER arising under this Agreement and to
exercise all rights and powers under this Agreement or any law
now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the
said indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or
hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by guaranty, mortgage,
deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither
the acceptance of this Agreement nor its enforcement by court
action shall prejudice or in any manner affect CITY's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held
by CITY, it being agreed that CITY shall be entitled to enforce
this Agreement and any other security now or hereafter held by
CITY, as applicable, in such order and manner as CITY may in its
absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to CITY is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute. Every power or remedy given by this Agreement to the
CITY may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time

enjoin acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of
the provisions hereof.
8.6 Right of Contest. The DEVELOPER shall have the
right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy, or
assessment the assertion of which would constitute an Event of
Default hereunder. Any such contest shall be prosecuted
diligently and in a manner unprejudicial to the CITY or the
rights of the CITY hereunder.
8.7 Action at Law; No Remedy Exclusive. The CITY may
take whatever action at law or in equity as may be necessary or
desirable to enforce performance and observance of any
obligation, agreement or covenant of the DEVELOPER under this
Agreement. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved by the
CITY is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy
or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this
Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power
or shall be construed to be a waiver of such right or power, but
any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and
as often as CITY may deem expedient. In order to entitle the
CITY to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it
shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such
notice as may be herein expressly required or required by law to
be given.
8.8 Termination. The City's rights and remedies set
forth herein shall include as a cumulative remedy the right to
terminate this Agreement if an Event of Default is not cured,
